Lately, I have been watching a lot of these videos recorded by home security cameras, where burglars get caught in the act.

Here’s one of those kinda funny videos, if you haven’t seen any yet:

These guys did not seem to be in a hurry while deciding what to take. They didn't know the owner of the house was looking through his phone, thanks to the security camera he had installed. The calm was over when the police reached the place, and one of them even jumped through the window!

Hopefully Chloe, the family dog, hasn't lost her security job.

There are hundreds of videos like these ones on the internet and you could spend hours watching them.

I did!

Each one has its own different outcome.

Some have a happy ending and others not so much.

At first, I found this quite funny, but then it struck me…

“This could actually happen to me too”

I wasn’t laughing anymore 😅😅😅

ALARMING FACTS:

  • In the US, a burglary occurs once every 23 seconds
  • In the UK, it’s once every 40 seconds
  • The majority of burglaries occur between 10am and 4pm
  • On average, only 14 arrests are made for every 100 burglaries
  • Having a home security camera increases the odds of arresting them dramatically

My Thoughts…

If I were to be the victim, I would not only lose priceless sentimental valuables, I would also lose a lot of money. Aside from the obvious losses, there would also be thousands to add on insurance premiums.

That plus the headache and stress just at the idea of filing a police report, I decided to embark on a mission to find what I could do to prevent it. 🕵️
